Muscatine

Your opening paragraph

should have been your last because that paragraph pretty much sums up the feeling of most people these days.

#1. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Woulda, shoulda, coulda. Forgive me but wasn't Clinton kind of hamstrung in his action adventures by a Republican controlled legislature?

#2. See #1. Also, seems W and his buddy Cheney (F..k you Leahy)have a little difficulty with the cool control factor as well.

#3. You avoided the question as to why a person of this ilk is advising our leaders to find a way to go to war with Iran? In answer to your question, yes, I did read the book and if you study your history you'll note it was written during the middle of the civil rights period. Now you can come away with your own thoughts after perusing, what 9 pages, that place the author in his best light possible. Zionism is what is destroying our country from the core. We are backing a Zionist nation which we helped PLOP down into the middle of the Arab world and we support them solely, solely mind you, while other Nations do not. Why is it the Zionist can have nuclear tipped warheads, the Iraqis and Iranians could not? Oh that's right, the Israelis are only protecting themselves. Maybe if the Israelis and Zionists would have learned long ago how to get along with their Arab neighbors we wouldn't be faced with the ''terrorist'' problems we have today. Oh and by the way, it was the Zionist who termed the word ''terrorist''.

#4. If you don't watch, listen or read about what's going on with these buffoons how are you able to formulate an opinion as to saying shame on them or shame on me and others for misconstruing their remarks. Sorry pal, you can't have it both ways. But you are totally correct on the politically correct slant. Hats off to you there.

Your right about one thing pal, it will be the same shit only with a different crowd. The on-stage shenanigans in Washington have went on long enough with the current players so I'm ready for some change. Taxes? Look pal, if all your worried about is an increase in your taxes then you do need to pay more attention to what's being said by these babbling fools on the airwaves.

Zionism

We will obviously have to disagree. I'm of the mind that Israel always has and always will belong to the Jewish people. As for why the ''Zionist'' should be allowed to possess a nuke and not the Arabs. Because Israel will use it for protection while Iran would have already used it had they been the first.

I agree

to disagree. If Israel in it's former state prior to 1948 was considered Palestinian territory under control of the British government; how then can you justify it as always belonging to the Jewish people?

Are you insinuating the Israelis packed up and left one day leaving Palestine to the Palestinians? Or did all this trouble begin to brew when Jewish holocaust refugees were looking for a ''new homeland''? If as you say, ''Israel always has and always will belong to the Jewish people'' why do the Zionists always refer to it historically as a ''new homeland''? And why is it, the British government who controlled Palestine as a soveriegn Arab nation, did everything they possible could to keep the Jews from disembarking onto Palestianian soil? I think you know the answer. It makes the news everyday.

I have to disagree with your statement about the reasoning of why Israel should be allowed to have nukes while the Arab nations are denied the same right. Are the Arab nations not entitled to protect themselves as well? There have been many times where the U.S. Government had to step in to quell a situation where it was feared the Israelis would launch a nuclear first strike.

You have no way of predicting what Iran may or would have done if they had a nuke. While I won't disagree that you are entitled to your opinion, your opinion in this point is based solely on speculation.

Good exchange Hecta, I enjoy debating with you.
